2008-03-19aio: bad AIO race in aio_complete() leads to process hangQuentin Barnes
My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come and it never would. We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP. The hang only occurred on a Xeon box ("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe"). On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all two processors on the Core2Duo we use. My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop in read_events(), what happens on processor #1: 1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait 2) aio_read_evt() to check tail 3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep In aio_complete() with processor #2: A) info->tail = tail; B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait) C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up() The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors (checked in step 2) before step B is done. The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2 cache not shared by some of the other processors. Imagine: proc 2: just before step A proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events proc 2, step A: updates tail proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B. It ensures that the update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing. If processor 1 was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail). Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time. After the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

2008-03-18IDE: Make taskfile interface more robust wrt unexpected end-of-commandLinus Torvalds
Now that we handle all the special commands using REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE rather than using the old REQ_TYPE_ATA_CMD model, we need to also emulate the lack of full taskfile data that comes with the old command model (ie when commands are generated with the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl rather than using the HDIO_DRIVE_TASK[FILE] ioctls). In particular, this means that we should handle command completion the more relaxed way that the old drive_cmd_intr() code did. It allows commands to finish early even if they don't use up all the data that we thought we had for them. This fixes a regression seen by Anders Eriksson where some SMART commands sent by smartd would cause a boot-time system hang on his machine because the IDE command handling code didn't realize that the command had completed.

2008-03-19sched: improve affine wakeupsIngo Molnar
improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes after it wakes up some other task. Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short, it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily. ( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)
